The largest hotel in Buellton, CA, is the Marriott Santa Ynez Valley - an upscale, 149 room property built alongside busy US 101 near the town center, though east-facing rooms have peaceful views over hills and farmland. The hotel makes a good base from which to explore the surrounding Santa Barbara wine country, and it has many facilities, headed by three dining outlets including the Starting Gate American restaurant, offering meals all-day either indoors or on the patio. Also available are an outdoor pool/hot tub, fitness center, tennis court, free internet access, a business center and 12,000 sq ft of event space.

One of the few chain hotels in the crossroads town of Buellton, Best Western Pea Soup Andersen's Inn is a Danish-themed establishment with its 97 rooms (on 2 floors) built around all 4 sides of a central courtyard area with hot tub, putting green and outdoor pool. The inn lies next to the junction of US 101 with Highway 246, walking distance from the town center and a short drive from the many nearby wineries of the San Ynez Valley. Rooms are averagely-furnished, though many benefit from a private patio overlooking the hotel grounds. Free continental breakfast is served, and lunch/dinner is available from the adjacent Andersen's Restaurant, including of course the famous pea soup.

Quality Inn Buellton is a medium sized (60 room), 2 floor, roadside motel located along Avenue of Flags at the north end of Buellton, and next to the Damasa Rd exit of Highway 101. Lodging is basic but comfortable, and rather cheaper than most nearby properties, especially those 3 miles east in the more well known town of Solvang. Guest laundry, free continental breakfast and free newspaper are some of the limited amenities.
